Navigational Flights with Instruments to Brescia, Italy

Today we had again a very strong north wind (16kts), though a bit less gustier then yesterday. We took off RW01, right 2000ft, to E and then to Capolago, where we left the frequency (120.25). We then reported to Milano Information (124.92) and described our intentions of flight. After Como we headed 145 in order to intercept the inbound Track 115 of Trezzo VOR (TZO) at R145 DME 13. At the VOR we headed left R145 for 15 NM (DME 15, Ugori) and then 85 to Brescia, first leaving Milano Information and reporting to Garda Approach (124.45), before leaving them at Brescia City to report to LIPO TWR (119.40) where we performed 4 right handed circuits with landings. last landing followed visiting the airport, and being escorted by the "follow me car" to our parking spot. We went through customs, paid fees (not bad for the size of the aiport, and as many landings allowed after paying one), filled our flight plan and were back on our way to LSZA.


On our way

Main topic today was using the instruments, especially the VOR and DME. But there was quite a bit of talking, here a summary:

Milano Info, HBPPV
>
HBPPV
P28A
VFR from LUGANO to BRESCIA
@ CHIASSO 3000ft
routing via TZO
estimate TZO @ (1305)
>

Then they told us to stay out of the Milano Linate, and Bergamo zones. This was repeated for Garda Approach, changing places and estimates.
